The Fiscal Year 2002-2003 Priority List

The preliminary priority list was developed with the information submitted in the nominations before hearings were held. The principal function of the hearings was to correct errors and miscalculations when the formula was applied to that information. All nominating parties had a fair opportunity to do so, and any corrections furnished after the hearings were duly incorporated into creating the final list. The statutory procedure was correctly followed, and we will adopt without change the final list created by Staff.
